The cafe has re-opened Tuesday to Saturday closing at 4.30pm. Had the coffee and polenta cake - very yummy.

These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is needed for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Often they are only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most of the old mills have been abandoned over time.

Nice enough trig pointed hilltop and easy enough to get to with grand views out over the South Downs.

Lewes Castle is a medieval fortress originally known as Bray Castle. Positioned strategically, it commands a prominent location, overseeing the gap in the South Downs shaped by the River Ouse and surrounded by the towns of Lewes and Cliffe. The castle is perched on a man-made mound located just north of Lewes' high street, crafted from locally sourced limestone and flint blocks.

This windmill, built in the 16th century, is an open trestle post mill, of which only five remain in the country, with this being the only one still operational. Entrance is free, and you can find more information at: https://www.ashdownforest.com/members/nutley-windmill-uckfield-and-district-preservation-society

East Sussex's historic county town, Lewes is a lovely place to explore. There are many interesting old buildings, from the 16th-century timber-framed Anne of Cleves House to the impressive Lewes Castle, and many quirky boutiques, pubs and eateries. There are plenty of excellent walking options in the surrounding countryside, from river rambles along the Ouse to more hilly affairs on the South Downs.

Sadly the cafe has closed permanently. Shame, it was a great pit stop
